Mean Old World - Chicken Shack, Stan Webb

This is a mean old world, try livin' by yourself

This is a mean old world, try livin' by yourself

Can’t get the one your lovin' have to use somebody else

I got the blues, gonna pack my bags and go

Yes, I got the blues, gonna pack my bags and go

Yes, I guess you really don’t love me

I’m just an unlucky so and so.

Sometimes I wonder why — can your love be so cool

Yeah, sometimes I wonder why — can your love be so cool

Yes, I guess you don’t really don’t love me

I’m just an unlucky so and so

As performed by Peter Green on BBC Session:

This is a mean old world,

try and live in by yourself,

This is a mean old world,

try and live in by yourself,

Can?

t get the one you?

re lovin?

Yes, you got to use somebody else

You know, I hate to remember

what a fool I used to be

yes, I hate to remember

what a fool I used to be

I give you all my lovin'

Look how you mistreat me

Break

You know, I smile to keep from worrying

And I laugh to keep from crying

Yes, I smile to keep from worrying, people

You know, I laugh to keep from crying

And that?

s so?

s I don?

t let the public know

What?

s on my worried mind

Someday baby,

When the blood runs cold in my veins

I said someday baby,

When the blood runs cold in my veins

You won?

t have to hurt old me no more

'Cause my heart won?

t feel no pain
